Being held in contempt, is that like ‘jail’ for the too rich to be jailed??
Ordinarily someone held in contempt would be hit with huge fines, or jailed. Orangieboi was fined $9000, which is the equivalent of you being fined 1/100th of a penny.
1000 is the maximum fine they can give per instance.
Think he got hit with 9. Most people would have gotten the “up to 30 days in jail” by now though.

In addition to the fines. $9000 to an ordinary person is a huge sum of money. To a billionaire, it’s not even their lunch meal bill.
If the fine is a fixed amount like that, the law is saying that poor people will be punished while rich people won’t.
Most fines in US law are like that.
He faces a fine right now,and seeing as the related instances occurred before the judge stressed that further violations will result in being jailed, this is the end of his rope. No more chances.
I’ll believe it when I see it
Hopefully we won’t need to wait long
end of his rope
promise?
Here’s a wild idea, throw the man who is continuously flaunting the law, the court, and the judges orders, into jail.
